Abstract: |
Cornwall Archaeological unit was commissioned by Tim Baker to carry out a historic building record prior to the conversion of a barn range at West Penstroda, Waterloo, Bodmin located at NGR: SX 11730 72417. Conditional planning permission for the conversion of the building to form a three bedroom dwelling (application number PA18/01039) has now been granted. Condition 3 of the planning consent required a programme of archaeological work to be undertaken which included a historic building record to be made of the building. The historic building record (equivalent to a Historic England level 2-3 building survey) has been undertaken as a mitigation measure for the impacts of the conversion on the building. West Penstroda is a small farming settlement on Bodmin Moor which dates back to the medieval period. It lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and comprises a farmhouse of probable early 17th century date surrounded by several historic farm buildings. The barn range lies immediately west of, and within the curtilage of, the farmhouse which is a Grade II Listed Building. The barn range now comprises two adjoining buildings. The two-storey south-western building was built to incorporate a shippon at ground floor level and a threshing barn at first floor level. The smaller adjoining building was designed as either a store or possibly a calf house with a hayloft above. This building once continued north-eastwards in the form of a lean-to and small walled yard which was most likely designed as a piggery. Design and construction detail indicate that both buildings within the barn range were constructed during the early 19th century, and structural evidence suggests that the two-storey shippon and threshing barn was built first with the store (possible calf shed) and adjoining lean-to and yard added at a slightly later date. |
